Good time at the Rendezvous and as usual was able to pick up a couple vintage knives.

This sweet little Keen Kutter 3 1/4" humpback easy open jack has some interesting details, smaller than your standard easy open, humpback, shield, notch for the pen blade nick, lot of details in this knife. No pattern number and been cleaned.
